Schedule of Permit Fees

Schedule of Regulatory Permit Fees 

In addition to a business license, your business activity may also require a regulatory permit to operate in the city.  If a regulatory permit is required, please complete the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department License Detail form and attach it to your business license application.  All taxes and fees can be combined when submitting payment.  

Regulatory permits are renewed annually, along with the business license.  If the permit is not renewed within 2-months after the business license expiration date, a penalty fee of 50% is assessed and added to the account (in addition to any business license penalty fees).

To obtain additional information and description of the business activities listed below, please refer to the corresponding Carson Municipal Code (CMC) section noted with the specific business activity.
